Sold Out Before Its Open

So it's 11:51 and I am writing this with Siri as I'm driving out of the Best Buy parking lot. It turned out they sold out of the laptop that I wanted before the doors even opened. How?

They finally did come around to hand out the the passes for hot item. Printouts with a hand written code on each one giving the beholder an opportunity to buy one of the doorbuster deals. All that was left were big TV's and more expensive items. What bothered me was the process and the attitude of the employees. I guess customer service only comes with full priced items and regular store hours. There were police escorts for each employee passing out flyers. Like one of us animals would tear them to shreds over a stack of papers that let you buy a 55" LCD for a G.

So I walked out of line just before midnight, a little bit down about the loss.

Now it is a bit before 9 am and I am going back to survey the damage.
